Well the McLaren 720S has been revealed, so I guess now we wait and see if 75880 appears online somewhere or if it was outright canceled. how long should we give it before tossing it into the "canceled" pile?

Yeah, I visited Reddit after guessing that's where it originated. Found out it was from Twitter (and they'd got the wrong car listed) and now I notice the account is suspended. Odd. June... I can wait.

Also - I WAS RIGHT! I called it and I was right. And we got an image right after the reveal of the car, so I was right twice! In one year! In one thread even! Going to include this in my autobiography and no mistake :-)

well, that was a fast answer lol. need to see more of it to know just how good it is overall, but from that one image I can say: Yay! more orange! and Oooohhh nice rim inserts. looking forward to more pictures.

As a designer, the inclusion of the drawing board and concept vehicle sketch is enough for me. The car itself looks good but my preference still goes to the wave 1 McLaren. Huge fan of their cars and can't wait to get this one.

Wow, I hadn't realised how good these look when you display a lot of them together! Definitely having a bit of a wobble about this theme, and I'm not the only one - last week in Toymaster I watched a little boy hurtle up to the shelves, grab a car and gaze at it in delight.

I think they look great. I have a fair few (mainly the road-going ones or racing versions of road cars, not the cars used only for racing) and the scale seems to work just right for the majority of designs. I'm really hoping they expand the range into more marques as a few of my favourite brands/models are unrepresented.

the only issue with the theme is that the cars are not true to any discernible scale, but once you overlook that and accept the stylized shapes they are great caricatures of the real cars and look splendid. and as much as it pains me to say it they often look best with stickers! (oh how I hate to use them, but I concede here they help)

I hope this theme continues. I know Lego does discontinue themes after a couple waves, but, this theme is too cool and has way too many options for sets to be axed like that. I don't see any reason why they'd discontinue Speed Champions, though. It seems to have been pretty well received. I've even seen automotive news sites having articles on these sets.

I also wish Speed Champions would have two waves per year like other themes do. I also hope for a Koenigsegg set in 2018.

no superbird (surprisingly) but even if we did the Cars theme was just bad, 4 wide and junior-ized before that was even a thing.

I'm all for Mopars, and muscle cars of all makes, but I would love to see some Japanese love too. a Nissan GTR, Mutsi Lancer EVO, Subaru STI, Toyota Supra, Mazda RX7, Lexus LFA, even a Honda Civic Type-R would be welcomed at this point (though personally I favor AWD cars)

I was joking about the cars sets - they are not good representations of the cars in question. Love those Japanese MOCs - I was waiting for a Honda NSX to show up! Yes, I played Gran Turismo when I was younger.

I would like to see them produce IndyCar sets, as in all different cars from the Indianapolis 500 over the years.

I wonder if it would happen though with the theme producing multiple Formula-1 sets. For anyone that has followed recent news, IndyCar and Formula-1 haven't been playing nice with each other since Fernando Alonso decided to race at the Indianapolis 500 this year instead of racing at the Grand Prix of Monaco.

Back on topic, a lot of those older IndyCars were great, and should have an international appeal with manufacturers like McLaren and Lotus among them.

lol you are in lucky. My whole idea was to do a 90s JDM Legends. So I have done the mazda rx7, toyota supra and now nissan skyline r34. All that is left on my place is the nsx :D

Isn't it basically just IndyCar vs. Hamilton, being the diva that he usually is, and not all of F1?

I know Hamilton was the centerpiece of it, but I didn't read what was actually said. When F-1 drivers were asked about running the Indianapolis 500 a lot of them seemed to have disdain for it (although I can agree that part of that is to be expected, most owners don't want to hear that their driver is thinking about running a different race). It just seems like there is a very sudden dislike between the two series.

Perhaps it is much ado about nothing, but I could see where F-1 wouldn't want a similar racing series as part of this theme.

I'd buy an LFA and a GT-R for sure. LFA could be a solid $15 set, and you could pair the R35 with an R32 for a $30 set. Could also do a Z.
